September 2016 (ex-dividend 1st September 2016).
The following text is copied from the Half Yearly Financial Report.
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
The decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union on 23rd June
2016 will have fundamental economic consequences which as yet are difficult to
predict. In the short term, there has been a period of extreme market
volatility.
This is not apparent in the performance of the FTSE All-Share Index which shows
a rise of 2.1% for the first six months. However, since the vote to leave there
has been a significant divergence in performance with the leading company
prices rising while the rest of the UK market has fallen.
The net asset value has risen by 2.4% to 1582.3p at the end of the period.
The capital restructuring was successfully completed in June and the interim
dividend is 10p per share in accordance with the previous indication.
The economy is now faced with a period of uncertainty and market volatility is
likely to continue.

This proposed interim dividend was approved by the Board on 21st July 2016 and

4. Valuation of financial instruments
IFRS 13 requires the Company to classify fair value measurements using a fair
value hierarchy that reflects the significance of inputs used in making the
measurements. The valuation techniques used by the Company are explained in the
accounting policies note 1 Investments, as set out in the Company's Annual
Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31st December 2015.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - Unadjusted prices quoted in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities.
Level 2 - Having inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that
are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from
prices).
Level 3 - Having inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable data.

6. Going Concern
The Company's assets comprise mainly realisable equity securities and cash and
the value of its assets is greater than its liabilities. Additionally, after
reviewing the Company's budget including the current financial resources and
projected expenses for the next twelve months and its medium-term plans, the
Directors believe that the Company's resources are adequate for continuing in
business for the foreseeable future. Accordingly it is appropriate to continue
to prepare accounts on a going concern basis.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO RIGHTS AND ISSUES INVESTMENT TRUST PLC
INTRODUCTION
We have been engaged by the Company to review the financial statements in the
Half Yearly Financial Report for the six months ended 30th June 2016 which
comprises the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in
Equity, the Cash Flow Statement and the related explanatory notes 1 to 6. We
have read the other information contained in the Half Yearly Report and
considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial
statements.
The report is made solely to the Company in accordance with International
Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 issued by the Auditing
Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review
report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company, for our
review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Half Yearly Financial Report is the responsibility of, and has been
approved by, the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the
Half Yearly Financial Report in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency
Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
As disclosed in note 1, the Annual Financial Statements of the group are
prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The
financial statements included in this Half Yearly Financial Report have been
prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim
Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed
set of financial statements in the Half Yearly Financial Report based on our
review.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing
Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of interim information
consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than in an audit conducted in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does
not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an
audit opinion.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the financial statements in the Half Yearly Financial Report for
the six months ended 30th June 2016 are not prepared, in all material respects,
in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the
European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United
Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority.
